The Ligue 1 club's front three were too hot for Gers to handle and it could have been much worse than 4-1
The Rangers manager knew his team faced a massive test to get anything from the French flyers and so it proved as the Belgian boss and his team were savagely sunk. Clement's tearaway countryman Malick Fofana was chief tormentor. The teenager was magnificent to score twice and have a hand in two more for skipper Alexandre Lacazette during a scintillating show.
Lyon issued a warning when Jack Butland beat away Lacazette’s effort, but the Belgian left the Rangers No.1 with no chance as he curled into the bottom corner. It was a brutal blow for Rangers, but their response was impressive and Lawrence quickly levelled. It was in danger of being a rout and sub Neraysho Kasanwirjo, put on for the toiling Tavernier, had to clear Tolisso’s rebound off the line after Duje Caleta-Car headed against the bar. Sub Kieran Dowell had a fierce strike saved by Perri, but the game was long gone with Butland making saves to prevent Lyon adding to their tally.
Lawro looks the business Lawrence is having the most-fruitful time of his Ibrox career as he really starts to make a serious mark on the No.10 position. There has been a menace around his play in recent weeks and the signs were again positive during the first period.
